Atomic Layer of the Day:
The past few days have been a nice change for the AM industry, compared to the previous weeks and months. Mosaic secured significant funding, Nvidia invested in nTop, and Amnovis announced the delivery of 50,000 titanium implants. Additionally, there was a confusing but also positive bit of news about Velo3D receiving support from SpaceX.
Today brings more good news. Carbon and Keystone Industries have announced that they have already 3D printed one million dental parts using Carbon's 3D printers and Keystone's materials!
This success is the result of a collaboration combining Carbon's innovative Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) technology with Keystone's materials, which were specifically developed for producing personalized dental products.
Keystone provides several materials that work perfectly with Carbon’s technology. For instance, KeySplint Soft Clear is used to produce flexible night guards, but they also offer other solutions like KeyGuide for surgical guides or KeyDenture Try-In for temporary dentures. Together, they’ve already printed one million parts, which took over 314,000 hours of work and used 11,200 liters of Keystone materials!
Both companies plan to continue their collaboration and introduce even more advanced solutions for dental labs worldwide. This is great news for the industry, as it means even better and more precise products tailored to patients' needs.
